Answer:
Ep = 3924 [J]
Explanation:
To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

where:
Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)
m = mass = 40 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 10 [m]
![E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3D40%2A9.81%2A10%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%203924%20%5BJ%5D)
Because the airplane flies at 800 km/h, it will fly 800 km in 1 hour. In order to find how far it travels in 2 hours, we multiply this number by 2. 800*2 = 1600, so the plane will travel 1600 km in 2 hours.
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector. The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are. It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes. If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity. So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd
